What is the equivalent of Celery for Clojure?

Question

If I wanted to port a Python + Celery web application to a Clojure tech stack, what options do I have for task queuing and scheduling? Can I just interop with a Java library like Quartz?

After some searching, I found Quartzite, but have no idea about its efficacy.

Answer 1

Yes, Java interop with Quartz is reasonable and should probably be your default option. I think people are sometimes too hesitant to use Java interop from Clojure, but actually it works quite well.

For evaluating Quartzite, I would take a look at the specific scheduling features you know you'll need and see if Quartzite provides interfaces to those.

Another solution developed by a coworker of mine is a native Clojure library: Monotony, it might be worth checking out.
